From the beginning, I wanted to make dance music with a human element to it.

I've also been writing with my guitarist, Ted Barnes, and he's amazing. Writing with him has taught me a lot about my own writing process, in the sense that it's incredably personal to write with someone else from scratch.

I was born on a pig farm in Norfolk. We grew up in the city called Norwich in Norfolk, then I moved to London when I was thirteen.

Heaven is what we spend our lives trying to find.

Norfolk is not on the way to anywhere, you don't stop off on the way somewhere else - it's an end in itself. You have to want to go there; it's an effort.

When I first started writing, a friend said I should be careful because I'm letting people know how to reach right in and play with my workings. And they do!

I don't read music; I taught myself guitar.
